Suggest Remedy For Pelvic Pain, Weakness In Urethra And Hip Soreness
Question: Dr. XXXXXXX
I come with an update and seeking advice.
I saw another specialist, a urogynecologist and after going through my historial, she suspects that I may have an atypical organism that's causing me trouble, to which she gave me doxycycline as an antibiotic and a bladder relaxant. She also gave Lotraderm because I have another yeast infection.
The only thing causing me relief right now is the cream, since it's stopped the itching and swelling of the vulva. The others, though I'm on the second day, haven't really made much of a difference. I've noticed though that my urine stream is really weak, and I'm wondering if that could be the bladder relaxant? It's never happened.
I continue to have pelvic pain and weakness in the urethra (like I have a slight irritation to pee) and soreness in my hips and buttocks. There's a certain route that I take going to work which always kills me, because I'm not sure if for emotinal factors, or walking so long that I start experiencing distress.
I emailed my urogynecologist and she told me to wait until the antibiotic course is done with to see what happens with the pain...but I haven't noticed a difference so far. This has got me disheartened. Nobody can seem to figure out why this is happening or what is it. I want a diagnosis. I don't know if I could take any more tests or ultrasounds. Should I see yet another different kind of specialist?

Brief Answer:
You should wait till the antibiotics course completed.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting me again about your health care.
I can certainly understand your concerns.
Sorry for the long delay in my response.
First of all please do not take so much of stress and dishartened yourself, your problem resolve after completion of antibiotics course( most probably).
In female UTI is sometimes persistent and not relieved by only medications.
First you should complete the course of antibiotics and just ask your treating doctor about antifungal treatment simultaneously.
Your stream can not be low due to side effect of bladder relaxant because it will increase the stream( because decreasing resistance).
You should do hot fomentation on lower abdomen, maintain vaginal hygiene, drink a lot of water and juices orally .
Your other investigations are normal means you are not having high sugar levels.
You can take warm water made up after boiling fenugreek seeds in water to relieve your symptoms.
Please do not take any stress and follow your doctor advice for a while till the course is completed.
Hopefully found useful, feel free to discuss more.
Regards
